What is a Server in VISULOX?
A Server represents a system that hosts applications or provides remote resources.
Servers are required so that VISULOX knows:
-
where applications are running
-
how to connect to them
-
which ports are used
-
whether the server is reachable
Applications rely on configured servers to function properly.
If a server is not configured or is inactive, applications assigned to it may not work.
Servers Page Overview
The servers page provides a centralized overview of all configured servers.
Each server entry displays important connection and status information, including:
-
Server name
-
Description
-
DNS name

Address

From this page, administrators can:

The status indicator reflects the availability or intended usage state of the server.
